Here are the 2016 US presidential election results for each state (plus D.C.), ranked by educational attainment of each state. For educational attainment, I used the percent of people 25 years or older with a bachelors degree or higher from census.gov*.

This table is sorted with the highest percent of educational attainment at the top and lowest at the bottom.

There is a clear pattern that the states with higher levels of educational attainment voted for Clinton. I’ve heard many conservatives say liberals are a bunch of poor beggars voting for handouts. On the contrary it appears liberals are the more educated.

I’m interested in any intelligent and polite comments. Others will be deleted.
